Kraken Mining Vessel

Description
It sure isn't the fastest ship in the galaxy but when it comes to making asteroids look like Swiss Cheese... release the Kraken!! Grab a bunch of friends and take all the juicy parts of the asteroid and leave the crust for the scavengers.

Seats 8! :D

Each Drill tentacle has 2 cameras, 4 drills, 1 ore detector, and 1 spotlight.
The Kraken has 8 refineries and 4 large containers.



The pictures tell a lot of it, but here are some additional instructions for commanding the Kraken:

*Tentacle Connectors* - Make sure they are disengaged for using the drill remotes.

To transfer ore to the Kraken: Lock the *Tentacle Connectors* and then lock *All Connectors* the ore should then transfer. (Disclaimer: I've had to toggle 5 & 7 to make them transfer but they will eventually. Not sure why.)


Pre-Flight Check: Lock *All Connectors* on each tentacle in a straightened position. Usually moving forward at slow speed with dampeners off will allow you to access each drill and lock them down once they've straightened out.



Thank you to the following Mods & Modders:

Our mining company couldn't afford to buy one so we just rent it.
Yes.... We Lease the Kraken

Are you able to build another ship with similar Kraken tentacles but with guns instead ? Having ability to pinpoint Gatling , Rocket launcher or some uber -power modded weapons ....

I realize. Just letting you know incase you didn't, and wanted to change it.

You can reset ownership when loading the world. Also, there is a blueprint available listed below in the links. :rshocked:

It was not turned on. However the tentacles were all disconnected, and the ship, tentacles included, were all set to someone else's ownership.
